[X4U] Slide scanner

[Zane H. Healy]

It's also faster to do basic scans than it is to mix up the 
chemicals, and make a contact sheet.  Plus my 'darkroom' is only 
usable certain times of the year (too cold right now), simply put, I 
need to build a proper darkroom. :-)  At least as of last fall I was 
finally able to process 8x10 sheet film (4x5 is easy, I do it in 
daylight tanks).

I would imagine 'orphan papers' could be a real issue with the obscure stuff.
